Just put new seals in a FAS SSP for a local friend.Problem mainly was the tiny hidden O ring which seals the valve shaft, but I replaced all the seals as they cost me only 50p for all six. Tried to think of a way to hold the tiny aluminium valve so I could punch out the steel pin with no damage. I ground the shape of the valve in and old plastic screwdriver bit holder and put it in a vice. This stopped the round valve rolling around and I used a hollow tip starter punch to get the hard steel little pin moving, no problem. The hidden seal was quite badly worn, see pic. I have never been keen on the FAS but have changed my mind and may buy this one. Problem is it is left handed. Anyone got a right hand grip they want to sell ?

Thanks, Baz
